Vivi Nova

[cherrycakes]

you can do the same thing with any clearomizer.

 

[Myra]

you're pretty

also I love my vivi nova and I'm a noob so I don't think you'll have a problem.
I'd recommend an ego twist and a mini vivi nova, just because that's my current setup

This is my vivi nova
and ego twist lol

Oh thank you! I have a super old pic (I model so anything over a few months is old so my current pic is uber old!)
They sell ego twists at the shop I went to and kept calling my setup a twist? I'm thinking about investing in one and I feel super noob so yeah. Maybe I'll be satisfied regardless. yours looks like a little version of my legacy which is what I'm looking for, so maybe? Ugh maybe I'll harass kevin about it tomorrow and demand answers. either way he loves me because I was one of the first people to come into his shop and ask what kind of pg/vg mixes he has and played around all day.

here's some guy dry burning a stardust clearomizer
How to clean and dry burn a clearomizer - YouTube

I've been under a rock for the past year and a half smoking analogs after my old e-cig broke!
terrible times! I now have been dating someone highly allergic (susceptible to asthma attacks T_T) to cigarette smoke, and have reverted back to e-cigs in an attempt to keep him healthy and happy.

okay I think I'm getting all this jargon, but what is dry burning? I'm all for keeping the world green so I would rather re-use than chunk...

Dry burning is the only effective way to clean the gunk off the atomizer coil; you just attach the coil unit to your battery (without the tank) and slowly activate the battery, in short intervals, to burn the junk off. But it also stresses the coil and I don't really do it anymore--maybe once or twice. I just soak the coils in PGA or vodka, and when they become too bad, I grab a fresh one. They are inexpensive enough.

vivi's are the most noob-friendly device on the market.

 

[cherrycakes]

the ego twist is pretty portable- I googled the legacy and it's definitely larger lol

Ah didn't know that soaking in pga was still a thing! I almost always did it with vodka because t was so readily available I was just for grabbing a new one since they are so cheap. hmm.

My favorite setup is an eGo-C Twist (or Vision Spinner), which offers variable voltage, with a bottom coil changeable clearomizer. Vivi Novas have a top coil and long wicks trying to wick the eliquid upwards to the coil, against the laws gravity, necessitating tilting and or turning your PV upside down in order to prevent dry hits. So that's what I don't like about them. Bottom coil solves that problem and I prefer the aesthetics, too.

Having said that, both models are popular and highly recommended here. I suggest you get one of each and try them yourself. If you get an eGo class battery, get a min iVision ViVi Nova--they do require an adapter, but they look better on the eGos.

much larger! I would like something I could stick in a back pocket while I'm out with my nephew instead of having to lug around my purse. I stick my legacy in my back pocket every ow and then and I'm always afraid it'll fall out because it's so heavy!

Soaking in PGA (or vodka) never went out of style. Alcohol is a great solvent. I do it for maintenance, mostly.

 

[cherrycakes]

they have ego lanyards so you could wear it around your neck.

I'm not one for dry burning, since cheap little pieces of plastic often don't survive. I'm also lazy. I just rinse well under a faucet and let them air dry. I rarely use vivis though, I like cinnamon vapes and they degrade pretty fast.

Don't pay attention to the ocelot, he's.....nvm.

I might try an vivi nova with the ego just to see how I like it and the fact I can get instant gratification with the shop near my house (they also have a seven day money back thing so if I hate it I can return it...).. I've never really looked into the bcc type, that may be my next endeavor!

Twists and Spinners come in different sizes, depending on their capacity. The smallest, Spinner 400 mAh is the baby in that family. Here are the other dimensions:

eGo-c Twist 650 = 98mm
eGo-c 900 = 90mm
eGo-c 1000 = 100mm
eGo-c Twist 900 = 111mm
eGo-c Twist 1000 = 121mm

A 1000mAh Twist is a bit long for me take with me when I go out. Here is one of mine next to a cat to give you an idea of the size:

With BCCs, there is no plastic anywhere around to melt. Another advantage of that model!

I still don't dry burn much. Soak, reuse and off they go. Evods coils cost $1.50 apiece and they last a long time.
